Chapter 32 Could it be something else
"Qingxue, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Shi noticed Murong Qingxue's strange appearance and asked softly.
"Mother, it's not that I have a heart, it's just that I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. Auntie, no, it should be called Erniang. Erniang's brother is coming, presumably because of this reason, the father lifted the grounding of their mother and daughter. It can be seen that this Zhenyuan general should not be underestimated. I'm just worried that tomorrow he will deliberately find fault and embarrass his mother. ”
Liu smiled: "Qingxue, you are too worried." Even if he hates me again, I am the wife of the General's Mansion after all, what can he do with me?"
"Then, will he be anxious to protect his sister and ask his father to re-establish Erniang as the main room? At that time, how do you deal with yourself?"
Murong Qingxue's worries, the Liu family didn't think of it, but she had already looked down on it. These more than ten years of obscurity have developed her tenacious and indifferent attitude towards life. The recent gentle words are just for the sake of their daughter after experiencing life and death. Even if she goes back to the past, what can she worry about, as long as her daughter is not the cowardly and slaughtered she used to be.
Murong Qingxue understood what her mother meant, but she was always uneasy in her heart. Jiang Tianxing is famous and plays a pivotal role in the court, and when he is recalled to the capital this time, there must be a heavier task for him to do.
Seeing that Murong Qingxue was worried, the Liu family took her hand to reassure her, and the mother and daughter walked slowly towards Ran Xuan.
"Qingxue, my mother has something to ask you. ”
"If my mother has something, just say it directly. Murong Qingxue took her arm and said softly.
Liu looked at her with a smile in his eyes and asked, "You, do you have someone in your heart?"
Murong Qingxue's face flushed, her head lowered, and her gaze fell on the Pearl of the South China Sea on her neck.
Ryu smiled, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.
"But Lord Rui?"
Sure enough, it was the daughter Mo Ruomu, although Murong Qingxue didn't say anything, it seemed that she couldn't hide her mother's thoughts.
Liu didn't continue to ask, but said to himself: "A while ago, I always thought that you liked the prince of Nan, but at the Spring Festival banquet, your behavior surprised me very much. A few days ago, Prince Nan said that he wanted to accept you as a concubine, but you resolutely refused, and I knew that there was someone else in your heart. It's just that I didn't expect ......"
Liu Shi said calmly, and Murong Qingxue listened calmly, the mother and daughter hadn't talked like this for a long time.
"Mother, what do you think of Prince Rui?" Murong Qingxue cared about her mother's opinion very much, although in her heart, Yun Rui was unique, but she still hoped for her mother's support.
Liu Shi stopped and smiled: "My mother doesn't know Lord Rui, but my mother knows that the first queen is beautiful and wise, dignified and virtuous, and her sister-in-law must be a dragon among people." Moreover, you will be willing to wear the pearl he gave you, and cherish it, and your mother will know. ”
Murong Qingxue lowered her head, it turned out that she had been deliberately alienating Yun Rui, but in the eyes of others, it was already so obvious, it seemed that she had been deceiving herself.
Liu Shi looked at Murong Qingxue's face flushed, and said that he had to prepare for the distinguished guests to come to the mansion tomorrow, and let her go back first.
On the afternoon of the second day, the legendary General Zhenyuan arrived at the General's Mansion.
Hearing that Lai'an had come to report it, Murong Bai took the Liu family and the Jiang family to the door.
"Brother Murong, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!" Jiang Tianxing said with a smile, and the two hugged each other.
Murong Qingxue looked at Jiang Tianxing, wearing a black brocade robe, although there was exhaustion after exertion in his eyes, but there was a domineering spirit.
"Brother Jiang has been undiminished for so many years. I heard that you were recalled to the capital by the emperor, and I was ready to talk to you for a long time. It's okay to say that tonight is not drunk and will not return. The two laughed.
"Xinyue, how are you and Yi'er?" Jiang Tianxing noticed the Jiang family beside Murong Bai, and when the Jiang family saw his brother, there were tears in his eyes: "Brother don't worry, my sister is fine." It's just that I haven't seen my brother for many years, and I miss it tightly. As he spoke, tears slipped down his face.
Seeing the Jiang family like this, Jiang Tianxing's eyes were also wet. Although he is a battle-hardened person, his wife died early, and in addition to his son, he is concerned about this sister and niece. I heard that the Jiang family was no longer the main room, and he was secretly worried in his heart, but when he saw it today, his sister was as usual, so he put his mind at ease.
"Chen'er, don't come to see my uncle and aunt yet. ”
With Jiang Tianxing's call, a handsome young man behind him walked forward. The face is like a crown of jade, a humble gentleman, and the elegance is complete.
The Jiang clan helped Jiang Chen up and asked Murong Qingyi to come to see his uncle and cousin.
Today's Murong Qingyi is wearing a pink skirt, with the most precious pearl hairpin, dignified and elegant, so that Jiang Tianxing can't help but admire, and Jiang Chen's eyes are also attracted. However, then, his eyes noticed the beautiful and elegant woman beside Murong Qingyi.
"When the distinguished guest is here, how can there be a gift to stand for a long time?" Murong Bai led the two to the lobby.
After taking a seat in turn, after a brief greeting, we will stagger. Murong Bai and Jiang Tianxing raised their glasses frequently, and Jiang and Murong Qingyi were always smiling beside them. It can be seen that the mother and daughter of the Xie family and the Wu family are not happy, but it is not easy to show it.
After the meal, Murong Bai and Jiang Tianxing went to the study and drank tea and chatted.
"How long will Brother Jiang stay in the capital this time, but does the emperor have any important things to explain?" Murong Bai asked.
Jiang Tianxing said with a smile: "It's not that there is anything important, it's just that in recent years, the border has been stable, and the emperor is grateful for my hard work, so he will give me a special gift to return to the dynasty for January and reunite with the family." ”
"The emperor values Brother Jiang so much, it's really gratifying. ”
"Yes, with the favor of the Holy Wisdom, I will definitely smear the liver and brain of the country. ”
"Brother Murong, I heard that Sister She's recently offended Brother Murong, so she lowered her wife from the main room, but is there such a thing?" Jiang Tianxing stared at Murong Bai and asked lightly.
Murong Bai didn't answer directly, but picked up the tea and took a sip.
When Jiang Tianxing saw him like this, he smiled and said, "Brother Murong, don't be careful, it stands to reason that it is inconvenient for me to interfere in the family affairs in your house, but my sister is my only relative, and I really can't bear to ask." If Brother Murong is in trouble, I haven't said it. ”
Although Jiang Tianxing said this, he still looked at Murong Bai. Murong Bai said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, Xinyue is my wife, how can I be willing to make such a decision." I wonder if Brother Jiang has heard about what happened in the General's Mansion today?"
"Oh, please also ask Brother Murong to elaborate. Perhaps sensing Murong Bai's unspeakable secrets, Jiang Tianxing no longer insisted on his sister's status.
"Originally, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but Brother Jiang is not an outsider after all, so I will say it directly. The day before yesterday, Nan Wangye chased the assassin to the general's mansion, and found that there was a bloody cloth in Yi'er's room, and he had already suspected that Yi'er was colluding with the assassin, but there was no solid evidence, so he left with a grudge. However, later, I found Barley's sachet in the hands of the assassin, and I heard Barley's maid and the assassin laughing with my own ears, and the words confirmed Barley and the assassin, ala......s, "Murong Bai couldn't go on, but Jiang Tianxing already understood the sound of the words.
Originally, he was very suspicious, with Murong Qingyi's family background, how could he collude with an assassin. Not to mention what a ruthless character this Nan Wang Ye is, it is impossible for Yi'er to offend him; how can an assassin get into her eyes as the concubine of the general's mansion? Moreover, Murong Bai is very fond of this concubine, how could he throw dirty water on her.
"So, which assassin is Barley in cahoots with? ”
Murong Bai sighed again, how strange was he in his heart, although he heard Xinyan's words with his own ears, he was still suspicious in his heart, but later, Lai An secretly inquired, it turned out that this assassin was actually the famous son of the God of Medicine, Ling Pingyang.
"Ling Pingyang?" Jiang Tianxing was also shocked. If it was an ordinary person, he would never believe it, but since Murong Bai said that it was Ling Pingyang, it was not strange.
"Ling Pingyang, the son of the God of Medicine, the young master of the Medicine King Valley, it is said that this person is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also unsurpassed in detoxification and poisoning. If the green barley is fascinated by this person, then I also believe it a little. Jiang Tianxing sighed.
Murong Bai's heart was the same as what he thought, otherwise how could he be so angry. The reason why he demoted the Jiang family to his aunt was that one was angry, and the other was to appease the heart of King Nan.
"It seems that this time the sister is no one else, blame me, and almost misunderstood Brother Murong. Jiang Tianxing said sincerely.
Murong Bai waved his hand: "Xinyue is not only your sister, but also my wife. Isn't it painful for me to make such a decision? It's just that although she is now a flat wife, her position in the house is still unshakable. Therefore, Brother Jiang, please relax, I will never wronged the mother and daughter of Xinyue. ”
Jiang Tianxing nodded, and the two of them replaced the wine with tea and drank another glass.
It was not early, Jiang Tianxing proposed to go to see the Jiang family, and Murong Bai asked Lai'an to take him to Yuexuan to meet the Jiang family.
When Murong Qingyi saw his uncle coming, he got up early to greet him.
"Barley, after a while, they are so slim. Jiang Tianxing said with a smile.
Murong Qingyi bowed down and bowed very respectfully, while Jiang Chen, who had arrived a long time ago, stood beside his father and helped him sit down.
Jiang Tianxing looked at his sister and niece, and had mixed feelings in his heart. After so many years of fighting, I didn't accompany them well, and I didn't know them in a blink of an eye. Although Murong Bai had told him about what had happened recently, he still wanted to be sure, after all, he privately hoped that Yi'er could become his daughter-in-law.
"Yi'er, if your uncle asks you something, you have to answer truthfully. ”
Looking at Jiang Tianxing's strict eyes, Murong Qingyi nodded: "Uncle, if you have anything, please speak up, and Io'er will definitely answer truthfully." ”
"In that case, I'm not going to beat around the bush. Do you have a sweetheart?"
Jiang Tianxing's question made Murong Qingyi's face blush, and Jiang Chen caught her expression, and there was a little loss on his face.
"So, but Ling Pingyang?" Jiang Tianxing asked.
This question puzzled Murong Qingyi, and she looked dazed: "Who is Ling Pingyang?"
"Then, why were you and your mother grounded? Isn't it because Ling Pingyang has your sachet in his hand? Why, you don't know who Ling Pingyang is?" Jiang Tianxing looked puzzled.
Speaking of the sachet, Murong Qing's barley blossom brought rain and lay on Jiang Tianxing's lap: "Uncle, I really don't know about this matter. I don't even know who Ling Pingyang is, and how can I give him a sachet. It's just that these things happened too coincidentally, and someone must have framed me. Uncle, you have to believe me. ”
Jiang Tianxing looked at the Jiang family, and there was also a look of affirmation in her eyes. Could it be that there is something else going on in this matter?
